For you and only you

Tired of selling books, Joe Goldberg decides to write them for a change. Invited to a genius, tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe finds himself, finally, in a place where his talent matters more than his pedigree--at least, he thought so, before finding out most of his peers are already distinguished and published authors. Then, meeting Wonder Parish, a writer with no pedigree, just a love of literature like him, Joe begins hoping for a future with her--but the old adage of "kill your darlings" may have to become literal for him to succeed in the writing life.

"Joe Goldberg is back. And he's going to start a family--even if it kills him. Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cozy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe. He gets a job at the local library--he does know a thing or two about books--and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town. The trouble is . . . Mary Kaye already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy. True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kaye will do the right thing and make room for him"--Provided by publisher.
